Neighbors are upset deputies aren't on constant patrols or on a manhunt in search of David Lovett, a man accused of arson and attempted murder.

These people need to understand that the courts have consistently ruled that LEOs and LEAs are not liable for what happens to them and are not obligated to protect them in any way.

It's good these people are taking up their own defense...but it shouldn't have taken a lack of "constant patrols" to wake them up to the reality of why our Founding Fathers put the right to keep and bear arms second only to the right to freedom to worship and dissent!

That's exactly right, law enforcement is not obligated by law to protect you. I can understand that from a legal standpoint because anybody who is a crime victim could successfully sue the cops for not preventing it otherwise. They can't be everywhere and do everything. Where I have a gripe is where they unfairly restrict legal gun owners and infringe our right to defend ourselves. That's not right!
